Great white shark lunges at kayaker in South Australia

A fisherman captured the moment a great white shark breached the water and attacked his kayak paddle in Port Augusta, South Australia.

It's just terrifying to see then come out of nowhere. Then just disappear back into nowhere.

[Bwnunley]

The way sharks disappear into the murkiness or dark of the water is the creepiest thing I’ve seen in nature

[DimityPockets]

Man, that’s a horrifying experience… I hope the shark can seek help after its close encounter with a wild Australian.

Being in a kayak in the ocean has all the safety measures of a seatbelt on an aeroplane

Why anyone would kayak in the ocean is beyond me. More power to ya.

You know it's a scary shark when it brings it's own music to swim along to.

[SkanDogVids]

Takes balls to lunge at an Australian like that

When the only thing keeping you from being at the bottom of the food chain is 3mm of plastic.

If you're in a kayak on the ocean, you're basically a huge top water lure...

[blackilluzionz]

As a fisherman that watches topwater lures get smashed( sometimes going airborne) by fish roughly the same size as the lure I would be terrified in that situation.

I think the guy is lucky. For those that say they are just curious- I tend to agree. However, the bad part of a curious bite tends to kill most ppl from blood loss. You couldnt pay me enough to ride in a kayak in the ocean.

You can tell by how fast and erratically he’s swimming he’s in attack mode. That’s a very hungry shark, and the kayaker is extremely lucky he didn’t get capsized

I’m a kayak it just feels like you’re serving yourself up on a dinner plate and floating yourself out for service.

This is precisely why you don't go out on the ocean in anything that isn't at least 3 times the size of a shark.

[mattdaugherty]

I believe I'd be heading back to shore!

[joeanderson]

I remember the first time I paddle boarded in the ocean.. it's honestly an eery feeling. Very lonely feeling overwhelmed me and I suddenly felt small and vulnerable

When I was 18, I did a backpacking trip and 2 random strangers that I had just met at the hostel convinced me to do an unguided kayak tour to a tiny island just off the coast. As soon as we were out in the open water, a rather uneasy feeling overcame me, but I told myself that I was simply exaggerating and that there was nothing to worry about. After watching this video, boy was I right. Never ever would I do this again lol

I think that experience either ends your love of kayak'ing or just makes it even more addictive depending on how much you like the feeling of adrenaline ...
